Solaita Cracks 5 Hits
Tony Solaita put on a hitting clinic today at PNC Park, spraying hits all over the ballpark and lashing Colorado pitchers for 5 hits in 5 at-bats. However, the offensive onslaught wasn't enough for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who still fell, 10-6.

"Sometimes I try to pull the ball too much, so today I just went with the pitch," Solaita told reporters after the game. "It's great to get 5 hits, but it would have been nicer to win the ballgame. too."

Tony Solaita singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

Solaita is hitting .295 this year with 3 home runs and 14 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .368, 9 walks and scored 9 times.
